a) here in the US this is a "short week" due to the Thanksgiving holiday. I am
flying in extra tech help for the next 8 days, mainly on assembled VCOs. From
Wed PM to Sun PM I will be "almost off work", I am remodeling the game room for
my 13yr old son (remove the Winnie the Pooh crap, replace with Lord of the
Rings/World or Warcraft crap). Just as a ∗start∗, I threw away 8 33gal trash
bags of stuff (1 bag was entirely from under the couch and the
cushions....uck!). Indiana is only working tomorrow, so kits will ship the
following week (I was hoping to get some out this week, not going to happen).

b) some good news: Bourns shipped the 350 blue panel pots 4 weeks ∗early∗, so
that means the maximum number of kits will be able to ship by the 15th. Now,
please read the next section closely.

c) I doubt that every single kit will be shipped by Dec 15th. I fully ∗expect∗
more than 80% will be. On Dec. 16th, Indiana will cease shipping, and then start
packing up what is left to send to me. On Jan 15th, I will then start to ship
out all that are left. This will probably take 10 days or so. So, please don't
take it personally if you miss the Dec. 15th date. Everyone remember: GC Fuller
is doing this as a ∗favor to me and Paul H.∗, they are not making ∗any money∗.
It's not the end of the world if you don't get shipped, please don't act like
it. I've spent $28,600 in the last 5 weeks buying parts, so everyone will get
their stuff. I hate as much as the next person 'going down to the wire' but as
usual, that's what tends to happen. I'm not taking your money and running off to
Fuji: mostly it goes to Mouser and Digikey.

d) T-minus 10 days and counting for last of the kit ordering........

e) no reports on the new MIDI-CV code, please test this out this week if you
can. Jeff has worked very hard rewriting the code to be bullet-proof.
